ANA said on Monday cancellations on domestic routes from January 16, the day that one of its Dreamliners made an emergency landing, sparking a global alert, to January 27 amount to 292 flights for 44,074 passengers.

Forty-three international flights have been cut, affecting 3778 passengers, the airline said.

Flights affected include those from Tokyo to San Jose, Seattle and Beijing.

Boeing's cutting-edge new planes suffered a series of glitches earlier this month, prompting a global alert from the US Federal Aviation Administration that led to the worldwide grounding of all 50 operational 787s.

The risk of fire from overheating powerpacks emerged as a major concern after pilots were forced to land a domestic ANA flight on January 16 due to smoke apparently linked to the lithium-ion battery.

But the US agency in charge of transportation safety on Sunday said a fire sparked after a Japan Airlines 787 landed in Boston on January 7 was not caused by an overcharged battery.
